Shame it went through at that speed, - it was a great sight, but all over in less than 20 seconds !!. Why the rush through Stoke Station, or don't enthusiasts matter ?

If I remember rightly, it ran non-stop straight down to Wembley. It had a game to get to!

Believe me these machines are a revolution for North Wales! Finally we are getting some decent trains that you can hear yourself think on. These are an amazing improvement. Now all we need is for the Government to deliver long promised Electrification of the North Wales Coast network so we can run them electric all the way and replace the diesel modules with the new battery module that Hitachi is testing. True trains of the future. AVANTI now you have stock, drivers and new trains give us back our hourly direct services to London Euston.

An interesting video, and alot of knowledgeable observations in the interesting comments , way beyond my ken ( child of the 50s 😮) , but as there were no passengers I presume this was a test run for the Hitachi ( the on board announcement) - also I had been looking forward to going by Caernarfon Castle and crossing Telford's Menai Bridge - ? And Llandudno Junction a great hub of steam engine activity in those far off days . Thank you All.

Shame that it’s only 5-Car but still the Class 805s are very nice trains. Can’t wait to see the Class 807s coming into service later this year.

@ejs229 Ай бұрын

It was 10 cars to Holyhead, 5 back. Definitely got quite busy, although they've got 46 more standard seats than the voyagers. Apparently, the 807s will have 34 more standard seats than a 9 car 390.

Its just the interiors look utterly depressing. Who on earth thought having bland white walls were a good thing?

@shirellx5471 22 күн бұрын

You make the interior and design it yourself if you think it’s that easy

@hogyndrwg6253 Ай бұрын

Is it my imagination or is the interior lighting less ferocious than on the GWR 800 units??

It's nice to see TOCs actually responding to feedback lol

@BobC250 Ай бұрын

Just watched an other video of the first new train going in the opposite direction (Lonod via Stafford) and that had the silly echo on the announcements too! (The crew had said they didn't know how to turn it off).

@ejs229 Ай бұрын

They were having feedback issues with the PA, it kept making high pitched whistling noises until they solved it somehow

@Amari588 Ай бұрын

I think these trains need to have the same carriages as the pendolino like 9 or 10 carriages not 5

@ejs229 Ай бұрын

There seems to be a trend of making 5 car 80x units, like with the EMR auroras. I'd prefer 9 cars personally

@Amari588 Ай бұрын

Same here LNER got lucky

@GaffGiff Ай бұрын

5 cars are similar to what they had as voyagers, the 7 cars (807) are the same capacity as a pendolino

@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf Ай бұрын

Need to be 7 car minimum. 5 car not enough, and pairing them to make 10 car means double manning(apart from drivers). Awful uncomfortable things. JG.

@ejs229 Ай бұрын

True, its still basically the same thing they've been doing with the voyagers for the past 20 years. I overheard staff on board complaining about ride quality compared to the 221s ("I miss the tilt") but at least they're bi-mode and more spacious.
